Package: gcc-4.7
Version: 4.7.2-5
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
With the follozing source code:
% cat file.c
typedef struct s_ {int i;} st;
void this(st) int st; {}
The compiler complains, but I am not sure about the pertinence of the error
message:
% cc -c -o file.o file.c
file.c: In function ‘this’:
file.c:2:6: error: old-style parameter declarations in prototyped function
definition
file.c:2:1: error: parameter name omitted
since changing the variable name st to xy in the source code, i.e.:
% cat file2.c
typedef struct s_ {int i;} st;
void this(xy) int xy; {}
makes the compiler happy:
% cc -c -o file2.o file2.c; echo $?
0
I /suspect/ it has to do with the ANSI C section 3.7.1 stating an identifier
"shall" not be redeclared as a parameter. May it be possible to confirm/infirm?
If confirmed, then my request would be to have a more meaningful message.
Otherwise, apologizes -;
Thanks, Regards, Jean-Damien.
